Hey everyone

I have a question about the vertex data sort.

tranditional method always sort the vertex data by

first vertex:Pos,Normal,Tex.......

decond vertex:Pos,Normal,Tex.......

third vertex:Pos,Normal,Tex.......

then store all vertex into a struct like

struct vtxData{ PosData pos;NorData nor;TexData tex;  };

then we can create a buffer respond how many vertices we have

like this     vtxData l_vtxData = new vtxData[vtxCount];

so the buffer should like this

pos,nor,tex,pos,nor,tex,pos,nor,tex,pos,nor,tex,pos,nor,tex,pos,nor,tex.....

Can I sort vetex data by

pos,pos,pos,nor,nor,nor,tex,tex,tex

if I changed the data sort as above,when I draw the vertices

have any things I should to change?

like pd3dDevice->CreateInputLayoutor or else?

by the way  the DX10 Nov SDK have already remove the XFile support(rmxfguid.h and rmxftmpl.h)

so I thought maybe we have to load mesh by self(It's too bad /__\)

I detected the Collada :)  and thought it's nice

have any sample that DX10 using collada loading model?

I am trying to using FCollada to load file and reference Nvidia's DX10 sample "smoke",

but it's too diffcult to me lol

thanks any advice
